The Chronicle DSG rejects appeal, declares Walsh winner

By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle

Members of the Duke Student Government Election Commission found themselves on the defensive last night as junior Sean Young challenged

the seven-person board’s Friday decision to cancel planned runoffs and declare junior C.J. Walsh President.

In his appeal, which was heard and denied late last night by the DSG Judiciary,

Young argued that the Election Commission had no right to reevaluate its own decision without being prompted to do so by a formal complaint.

Additionally, Young alleged that DSG Attorney General

Jessica Budoff told candidates

before the election that the winning candidate would have

to gain more than 50 percent of the vote and win by a margin of 6 percent. The current vice president for community inter-

action argued that by no longer applying that standard, Budoff had essentially changed the rules of election after the vote had taken place.

Speedy Duke flies past Tar Heels

By RAY HOLLOMAN The Chronicle Duke

93 CHAPEL

HILL

With the Blue Devils’ UNC 81 starting center Carlos Boozer helplessly balancing on crutches on the sideline, Duke reeling from a Senior Night loss to Maryland and UNC set to celebrate its first ACC title since 1995—“the kegs were probably already lined up on Franklin Street,” Shane Battier said—yesterday was supposed to be a night for Carolina to

remember.

Jason Williams and Battier made sure that it would be one they would never forget.

Williams scored 33 points and handed out nine assists and Battier, playing in his last ACC regular-season game, scored 25 points with 11 rebounds as the No. 2 Blue Devils (26-4,13-3 in the ACC) manhandled archrival No. 4 North Carolina (23-5, 13-3) 95-81 yesterday in Chapel Hill to claim a share of the ACC regular-season title.

And this time, the win was not just about rivalry; it was about history, as the Blue Devils became the first team in ACC history to win or share the conference title for five straight seasons.

“This is the result of coming to work every single day with the dedication needed to be a champion,” said Battier, who along with J.D. Simpson, Nate James and Ryan Caldbeck became the first Duke players to win three straight in Chapel Hill since the 19605. The seniors have gone 5-1 against the Tar Heels. “We didn’t just do it once, but five times. That will be something to

look back on.”

Duke’s win avenged a two-point loss at home earlier in the season in which a staggering Blue Devil team shot just 13of-27 from the free-throw line. Yesterday, Duke put on one of its most dazzling of-

fensive performances of the season, keeping hope alive for a No. 1 seed in the

upcoming NCAA tournament.

Not only did the Blue Devils shoot better from the free-throw line in the second installment of Tobacco Road’s

biggest rivalry, but in a dominating second half, the blistering Duke offense managed to shoot better from beyond the three-point arc (7-of-16) than the 42 percent free-throw clip in the first game.

“They caught fire,” said UNC junior Ron Curry, who is now 1-6 against Duke in his career. “They made a lot of shots and they played a heck of a game.... We knew they were going to shoot a lot with See VENGEANCE on SpOftSWTap page 7

Heading into the season-ending showdown between No. 2 Duke and No. 4 North Carolina at the Dean Smith Center, all the talk focused around how the Blue Devils would fare without center Carlos Boozer against the larger and more physical Tar Heels. But rather than play his one unquestioned trump card to his advantage, Doherty ignored his team’s most dominant inside presences and instead relegated them to bench roles, enabling Duke to pull away midway through the

Suicide bomber kills 3 Israelis

FROM WIRE REPORTS

Landmark AIDS case begins in South Africa

The attack followed the Israeli killing of six Palestinians this weekend

By DEBORAH SONTAG

New York Times News Service

A suicide NETANYA, Israel, bomber killed himself and three Israelis Sunday, heightening anxieties that conflict with the Palestinians is moving inside Israel and growing out of control. The attack scattered bodies over a pedestrian crosswalk in Netanya, a town north ofTel Aviv.

Many Palestinians, too, were left anxious after a weekend in which six were killed by Israelis—including a 9-year-old boy in his home, a 43-year-old mother leaving a market and a Gaza man that Palestinian officials described as a harmless vagrant. At Palestinian funerals in the West Bank, mourners chanted

their appreciation for the bombing attack, singing, “We took revenge today in Netanya.”

The explosion was so forceful that bodies rocketed through the air. Shortly afterward, several irate Israeli men took out their anger on local Arabs in an open-air market near the crosswalk.

One Palestinian man was beaten unconscious, and Israelis at the scene said the crowd was preparing to-hitch the man’s body to a truck and drag him through the market when the police intervened.

“They beat him senseless and it’s too bad they didn’t kill him,” said Victor Zaituni, 31, the owner of a fruit stand. “Someone wanted to

tie him to a car but the police came.

Too bad.”

Israeli Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon, who is negotiating the composition of his governing coalition, issued a statement from the Likud Party headquarters in Tel Aviv, condemning the bomber’s attack.

Sharon later told reporters; “It is an attack that demonstrates that the Palestinian Authority is not taking the necessary measures. We know with certainty that [Yasser] Arafat’s most loyal troops take part in these terror attacks.

“However, I object stringently to taking the law into one’s own hands. We need to exhibit maximal

restraint.”

National Guard crash recovery begins

By KEVIN SACK

New York Times News Service

Stymied by knee-deep mud, UNADILLA, Ga. military workers struggled Sunday to complete the grim task ofremoving 21 bodies from the wreckage of an Army National Guard transport plane that crashed here Saturday in a sodden field.

Though skies had cleared Sunday morning, Saturday’s nearly four-inch rain turned the freshly plowed cotton field into a quagmire. Sunday morning, however, investigators and soldiers involved in the recovery effort stormed the area in a convoy of Humvees and all-terrain vehicles.

It was still slow going. A spokesperson for the National Guard Bureau, a coordinating group for the

state-directed National Guard units, said he could not estimate how long the recovery operation would take.

“It’s a muddy, slippery site,” said Maj. Randal Noller, the spokesperson. “We certainly don’t want that to cause more accidents on top ofthe tragedy we’ve already had. They’re putting safety ahead of speed.”

The plane, a C-23 Sherpa assigned to the 171st Aviation Battalion of the Army National Guard in Lakeland, Fla., crashed about 10 a.m. Saturday, about an hour after taking off from Hurlburt Field near Fort Walton Beach, Fla. It was headed to Oceana Naval Air Station, Va., to drop off 18 Virginia Air National Guardsmen who had been participating in a two-week construction and engineering exercise in Florida.

Revelry fans Blue Devils

flames

The Chronicle

It was still light when students flooded the muddy Main West Quadrangle, but by the time night had fallen, nine benches had been sacrificed to one of the largest celebratory bonfires in recent memory.

It started slowly. Students watched patiently as a handful of men tried to bring the blaze to life. The humid weekend and light sprinkle of rain did not help their cause. The benches resisted the newspaper kindling until around 5:20 p.m., when the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, Brownstone Dormitory and Mirecourt Dormitory benches began to smolder.

While they waited, revelers waved flags and chanted familiar basketball mantras such as “Go to hell, Carolina, go to hell.” And finally, to the delight of onlookers, the bench that Mirecourt residents had “borrowed” from Trent Dormitory was ablaze.

At just past six o’clock, the celebration really started to heat up. The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh benches were added to the enormous fire which also consumed rolls of toilet paper and prop chairs donated

by Hoof-N-Hom. Police turned away students who tried to add dorm chairs, signs and foosball tables.

More than the bonfire itself, students took pride in enacting revenge on the University of North CarolinaChapel Hill, which defeated Duke 85 to 83 in Cameron Indoor Stadium more than a month ago.

“This is the best bonfire since freshman year,” said senior Clint Cheng. “It’s so great. Because we were the underdog this was all the more glorious!”

Although some Duke fans had not expected the underdog to triumph, they had been waiting for weeks for the celebration. “I have been here for all of the last five regular season championships and... this [celebrationl had the best setup of any of them,” said fifth-year senior John Burkhardt. “This was nuts. I didn’t expect this at all.”

Meanwhile, there were no casualties among East Campus benches despite a large turnout of freshmen, who packed the extra East-West buses brought out for the event.

“Some people in my dorm were trying to have ours be the first freshman bench to be burned ever,” said freshman Ben Berchuck. “They were gonna have it hauled to West and everything—l didn’t think that was the best idea.”

But not all were so willing to give up their benches.

Residents of Nottingham, Wayne Manor and others congregated on their benches, preventing them from being added to the fire. House C residents, too, tried to keep their bench from becoming kindling. But around 7:30 p.m., basketball players Shane Battier and Mike Dunleavy walked over—accompanied by chants of Undergraduate

Annual review puts 4 selective groups on probation

By AMBIKA KUMAR The Chronicle

jamin Ward said he was pleased with how the process went this year. He added that the committee will continue to consult with groups over the coming months.

Five groups received outstanding ratings this year. Two of them—Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Kappa Alpha Order—had been put on probation through the annual review process

Four selective living groups—Beta Theta Pi fraternity, Kappa Sigma fraternity, Mirecourt and Wayne Manor—have been put on probation by the Annual Review Committee, as a result of failure to complete at least four out of the review’s seven requirements. All four groups have negotiated contracts with the ARC and will be taken off probation next year in the past.

“Both of them have turned around ifthey, honor their commitments.

Officers from several selective livvery substantially, and we’re very ing groups could not be reached for pleased to see that kind of progress,” comment Sunday, but ARC Chair Ben- said Ward, associate dean of student

development. “These groups have really risen to the highest echelon. We’re very proud of them.”

This year, Sigma Chi fraternity and Phi Delta Theta fraternity were put on warning, meaning that they will be closely monitored this semester and put on probation in the fall if they do not meet certain standards. Ward said the full results of the annual review will be made available on the Office of Student Development’s website later this month.

Groups have complained in the past about the annual review’s lack of clar-

ity, particularly in the case of Phi

Kappa Psi fraternity’s residential dissolution last month, when members of the group said Ward had not effectively informed them of their situation.

Ward disagreed and said he felt the ARC was accessible to groups “The committee really goes out of its way to indicate to the presidents [thatl they’re available,” Ward said. “Whenever I meet with them, I go out of my way to ask [if] there [is] anything that’s not clear, that they don’t understand and often make suggestions if they find themselves at a dead end.”

of ti)t Bast The Rare Book Room, located near the entrance ofPerkins Library, holds some ofDuke’s

most fascinating items

By Becky Young The Chronicle

SENIORS SHEKINAH LAMPKIN (left) and Keona Ervin examines items in the Rare Book Room’s collection. The rare book division of the library was created by an early-1990s merger of the manuscript department and the rare book department.

7fn a world of computer clusters and Duke Cards, the Rare Book Room seems to be a relic of ages past, when mysterious mansions housed rooms full of leather-jacketed volumes, when ornately bound books covered the entrances to secret passageways.

“I think the architecture of the room itselfdraws people in,” said Tim West, director of collection development for the Rare Book, Manuscript and Special Collections Library. “It has an atmosphere that affects people when they come in. It is almost a sense of reverence.”

The Rare Book Room’s striking aura matches its striking contents: The room contains such treasures as a book written in a Polish concentration camp and bound in a prisoner’s uniform; an original first-edition copy ofAdam Smith’s Wealth ofNations, once owned by a Russian prince; one of only about 100 known sets of John James Audobon’s original prints; and a first-edition copy of the Book of Mormon.

“We have lots of Mormons that come in... it’s asacred object to them,” West said. “They like to have their

pictures taken with it and hold it.”

Duke’s collection of rare books has accumulated over many decades. The manuscript department was founded in 1931 and the rare book department was formally organized in 1942. Between 1989 and 1992, the two merged to form today’s Rare Book, Manuscript and Special Collections Library.

The rare book branch of the library comprises four sections: the Mary Duke Biddle room, the Dalton-Brand research room, the Flowers room and the Trent room.

The elegant Mary Duke Biddle room, built in 1948, was constructed specifically to house the Universitys growing collection of rare books. The room is frequented by visitors who wish to take a look at some of the more unique items in the University’s collection. Designed to have dim light and low humidity to keep the

books in good condition, the room is modeled after an 18th-century British manor house library.

The Dalton-Brand research room is used for material research purposes. Visitors often express amazement at the room’s collection of books in miniature format, said Peg Lewis, a volunteer docent for the Rare

Book Room.

One of the remarkably tiny treasures is a leatherbound book about the size of a small fingernail—the miniature contains seven versions of The Lord’s Prayer in six different languages. The library displays the Gutenberg-printed book in a small Lucite case about the size of a nickel. “Originally these small books were useful because they allowed people to carry them around wherever they went,” Lewis said.

Speaking at graduation

The

fact that most students will not know her name and will have never seen her before does not make Charlayne HunterGault a bad or uninteresting commencement speaker.

In her decision, the president chose someone whom she knows to be a good speaker, but someone who no one else knows.

Administrators say that they were tired offamous but uneloquent commencement speakers.

But their belief in this trade-off is as silly and foolish as bringing in a commencement speaker who could just as easily have been speaking today somewhere on campus.

Hunter-Gault has built a respectable career in journalism and life outside it. The choices she has made and the struggles that she has gone through are worthy of respect and honor.

As the first black woman to graduate from the University of Georgia, Hunter-Gault boasts the courage and strength Duke should hope to instill in its graduates. As a journalist in South Africa, she has an amazing track record of valued and honest reporting. She has won Emmys and Peabodys and has reported on some ofthe most controversial and important events of our time.

In some ways, Hunter-Gault’s selection is a bold move by the administration of a top-10 school. Administrators may have opted for message over name.

But there’s no reason to believe that you cannot get both. Simply put, the fact that our graduates and their parents and most everyone knows nothing about this year’s commencement speaker is disconcerting.

Last year, the University could get none ofits top choices for graduation speaker, and President Nan Keohane was forced to reconvene her advisory committee to draw up a new speaker list. Apparently, administrators are so disheartened by their failure to get top-notch top-name speakers that they have convinced themselves that there are no bigname, good speakers out there. At least that’s what they say.

How absurd. Many highly accomplished people got to where they are by speaking well.

And handfuls of other colleges, from Harvard to Haverford, manage to secure major speakers each year.

With all due respect to Hunter-Gault, she seems no different from any of the speakers whoroll through campus any day ofthe week.

Few people attend their lectures in small rooms in academic buildings, This poor attendance says nothing for these events. More people should be at these valuable talks. But the commencement ceremony—Duke’s final send-off to its seniors and graduate and professional students—should be a real gift; the speech should be memorable not only for its message, but doubly so for its deliverer.

Meanwhile, in the last month alone, Duke has managed to attract to campus Spike Lee and Rev. Jesse Jackson, both accomplished individuals with top-quality speaking styles.

Hunter-Gault might be a nice treat as away to change things up, but bringing a no-name speaker to commencement should be a once-in-a-decade event.

If the issue is money, then start raising it. If the issue is prestige, then start hyping the school.

But either way, kick the inferiority complex and start getting speakers who stack up. Duke owes it to its graduates and their parents.

I know that these boys (I call them boys, not men) are not fully representative of fraternity life; however, their immaturity, disrespect and homophobia are a disgrace to all fraternities at Duke.

Men’s tennis avenges NCAA loss against Florida

By PAUL DORAN The Chronicle

After two 4-3 losses to Florida last season, one of which knocked Duke out of last year’s NCAA tournament, the third-ranked men’s tennis team did not want to show an ounce of mercy.

Unfortunately for the lOth-ranked Gators, they did not have to. Instead, in a match so lopsided they did not drop a single set, the Blue Devils demolished last year’s NCAA semifinalist 7-0 yesterday in the Sheffield Tennis Center. It also marked the 10th straight match Duke has won at home.

“It was great to win 7-0, especially after we lost twice last year,” senior Marko Cerenko said. “I thought it was one of the best matches we played all year.”

The match began with the Blue Devils (7-1) taking the doubles point by sweeping all three matches over Florida (5-5). With the Gators experiencing some recent problems in doubles and using their 11th and 12th different pairings of the season, Duke tried to take them out early Playing at No. 1 doubles for the Blue Devils was the nation s 16th-ranked pair of Ramsey Smith and Michael Yani. They demolished the Gators’ Nathan Overholser and JeremyWurtzman 8-3, while Cerenko, who has been battling a minor injury, and Phillip King looked equally impressive in their 8-2 victory over Troy Hahn and Olivier Levant.

“Phillip and I kept switching it up between the deuce and the ad courts,” Cerenko said.“I thought that worked out well. They may have been a little weaker at doubles than when we played them last year, but I also thought we played great.”

After that it was up to Andres Pedroso and Ted Rueger, the 41st-ranked team in the nation, to pull off the hardest match of the day for Duke. They took out Florida’s Matt Behrmann and Ross Greenstein, 9-8 (5), in a tiebreaker. After being down a break at 5-3, the pair was able to rally to put the Gators away and take all three doubles matches, shifting the tide of the

match to the Blue Devils.

“Whether you win two of three or three of three in doubles is not important because you still get the

point,” coach Jay Lapidus said. “But I thought it was good for Andres and Ted, who had lost some close matches lately, to win. It also probably helped Andres’ confidence in singles.”

Since Overholser, the normal No. 1 singles player for the Gators, sat out with a minor back injury, these spots on both teams’ ladders were left for freshmen However, it was King who prevailed, knocking off Wurtzman 6-3, 6-4 and ending a nine-match winning

streak for the Gator.

“I thought the team did well,” King said. “I was not

Lapidus decided to sit out Cerenko and let him rest his foot, bumping up Pedroso to the third spot. Pedroso proceeded to trounce Hahn 6-1, 6-4, clinching the match for the Blue Devils.

“It’s a day-to-day injury,” Cerenko said. “It turned out that their No. 1 singles player was out so we balanced each other out. If they had needed me, I would have played because I felt about 80 percent, but I was fine to sit out and let other people who may not get to play as much gain experience.”

Joel Spicher finished off Behrmann 6-4, 7-5, and Alex Bose was beating Greenstein 6-3, 4-0 before the

Lapidus said. “It’s pretty impressive to beat the No. 10 team in the country that badly. Usually you have four or five guys playing good matches, but to see all our guys come together on the same day and play well was great.”

The Blue Devils, whose only loss of the year came against top-ranked Stanford, have a week off before going up against the Texas Longhorns. Florida, on the other hand, will be riding a two-match losing streak into Wednesday’s conference matchup with Vanderbilt, “I wasn’t here last year, but I think it felt real good for the rest of the guys and Jay to [beat Florida],” King said. “It always feels good to win.”

No. 1 Terps supply women's lax Ist loss

By ELIZABETH COLUCCI The Chronicle

REGAN HSU/THE CHRONICLE

THE BLUE DEVILS converge on Denver during a preseason scrimmage. Duke lost to Maryland yesterday in both teams’ ACC opener.

Men’s lacrosse falls by 8 goals to UMd The Terrapins dominated yesterday’s matchup in College Park, handing the Blue Devils their most lopsided defeat in the rivalry since 1984.

By GABE GITHENS The Chronicle

13 Yesterday the Duke men’s lacrosse Maryland team (2-1, 0-1 in the ACC) lost to the 5 Maryland Terrapins (3-0, 1-0) by a Puke margin of 13-5 at Byrd Stadium in College Park, Md. The eighth-ranked Terps used stellar defense to shut down Duke, which had many opportunities near the goal but could not convert.

This was the seventh-ranked Blue Devils’ worst loss to Maryland since 1984, when Duke lost 16-4. The greatest letdown for the Blue Devils was the lack of scoring despite outplaying their eighth-ranked opponents.

On a rainy and muddy field, the Blue Devils managed to outshoot Maryland 39-29 in the game and 2914 in the second half. To add to the Duke domination, the Blue Devils had 16 extra-man opportunities compared to the Terrapins’ five. Maryland, however, converted when it counted and had two goals on extraman plays while the Blue Devils only had one on a dismal afternoon.

“We didn’t get the ball around,” junior attacker Alex Lieske said. “One guy would go to the goal and stand there.”

Senior goalie Matt Breslin managed only nine saves on Maryland’s 29 shots while Terrapin goalie Pat McGinnis, a first-team All-America candidate, anchored Maryland’s stingy defense with 19 saves on 39 shots. In credit to both goalies, the slippery surfaces

caused the ball to skip quickly and ricochet in many different directions.

“They have a great goalie that made some great saves, but our shot selection was not the best, Lieske said. “The weather worked for or against both teams.”

Among other defensemen to help the Terrapins was freshman Chris Passavia, who has high school AllAmerica accolades. The leader of the Maryland defense, however, was Michael Howley, who was the ACC rookie of the year last season and made several key stops for the Terps.

“I think it was really us against us,” said Lieske, who had three of Duke’s assists. “No one played great today.”

During the first quarter, Maryland quickly jumped out to a 4-0 advantage on two extra-man goals by Andrew Combs, who finished with a career-high five goals on the day. Maryland’s Dan LaMonica had two goals in the second quarter to make the score 5-0 and teammates Combs and Mike Mollot helped the cause to put the Terrapins ahead 7-1 at halftime.

As the Blue Devils tried to contemplate what happened yesterday, the word discipline came to mind as a key problem.

“I think we played hard for the most part, Lieske said. “We had no discipline [on offense] and mentally we weren’t there.”

Duke was led by midfielder Kevin Brennan, who had two goals in the fourth quarter. The Duke sophomore helped his team outscore Maryland 5-4 in the final 15 minutes ofaction, but it came too little and too late. Duke senior Greg Patchak was held in check by the Terrapin defense; he tallied only one assist.

Duke next takes on Sacred Heart at Koskinen Stadium tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. ”

18 A somewhat disappointing trip to Maryland Maryland this weekend was cut Duke 11 short, leaving No. 4 Duke with only a loss to open its conference season. Falling first to the top-ranked Maryland Terrapins by a score of 18-11, Duke was then forced to return home, postponing its game against Johns Hopkins due to impending bad weather.

Although Duke (1-1, 0-1 in the ACC) produced several strong offensive attacks, the back-and-forth battle seemed to favor Maryland (1-0,1-0) throughout both halves. The Terrapins produced two quick goals in the first five minutes, throwing the Blue Devils off guard and setting the pace of the game.

“Maryland was on a roll,” Duke coach Kristen Kimel said. “They made very few mistakes and were simply more ready to play.”

Lauren Gallagher was the first to respond to the Maryland threat, putting Duke on the scoreboard nine minutes into the first half. Gallagher’s unassisted goal was the first ofthree that she contributed to Duke’s attack.

Although Kate Kaiser and Kate Soulier also mixed in a few goals for Duke before the half, the Blue Devils still trailed 8-4 at halftime.

The gap widened, however, in-ihe first 10 minutes of the second half as Maryland quickly tallied six more goals, claiming a 14-6 lead with 20 minutes left to play. All-America candidate Courtney Hobbs and two-time player of the year Jen Adams were among the leaders of the Terrapins’ scoring force.

Kimel targeted her team’s man-down defense as Duke’s weakness of the game. “Goalie Kristen Foster saw a number of uncontested shots,” she said. “We need to take our next 10 days off to really concentrate on our defensive strategy.”

Leading the second half attack for Duke was Kaiser, who tallied an impressive five goals for the Blue Devils. Individual efforts, unfortunately, were not enough for Duke to overtake the Terrapins’ sharp defensive strategy. Trailing by 10 in the last seven minutes, Kaiser and Courtney Rodgers finally produced the comeback Duke had been waiting for all game, netting three consecutive goals. But their efforts were cut short as time ran out, leaving Maryland victorious.

“We are really a much better team then the one that showed up to play on Friday,” Kimel said. “We will just have to take the hard lessons we learned and turn them into positives.”

The disappointment continued for the Blue Devils when they lost the chance to compensate for their defeat. Due to possible winter storm conditions in Baltimore yesterday, their contest against 17th-ranked Johns Hopkins, which was originally scheduled for 1 p.m., has been postponed to an undetermined date.

Women’s tennis overcomes deficit to defeat Longhorns After falling behind 1-0 following doubles play, Duke rallied for four singles victories against Texas

By CATHERINE SULLIVAN The Chronicle

For the second time this season, the No. 3 women’s tennis team (8-1) lost two of three doubles matches and found itself down 1-0. Yesterday, it was at No. 6 Texas (8-1).

The last time the Blue Devils headed into singles play with this deficit, they eventually fell to Georgia, 5-2. But against the Longhorns, Duke managed to recover, winning four of six singles matches for a 4-3 victory.

“We played absolutely awful doubles,” coach Jamie Ashworth said. “We weren’t closing, we weren’t communicating.... Pretty much anything we could do wrong, we did it.”

During the 10-minute break between doubles and singles, the Blue Devils got a much-needed lift from an unlikely source: sophomore Hillary Adams.

“I was really disappointed with how everyone played in doubles,” Adams said. “I just got everyone together in a team meeting and helped fire everyone up.”

Co-captain Megan Miller praised her teammate’s leadership.

“Hillary really showed her spirit and pride and got us ready for singles,” Miller said. “It was important that we refocused and got our heads on straight because the first few games for everyone were so critical after we lost the doubles point.”

The Blue Devils quickly evened the match at 11, as freshman Amanda Johnson, who is ranked 14th nationally and played No. 3 singles, defeated Longhorn junior Rebecca Forney 6-2,6-4 to remain undefeated in dual-match play.

Johnson’s victory was followed by that offellow freshman Ansley Cargill, who is ranked second nationally. Cargill easily defeated ninth-ranked began hsu/the chronicle T exas senior Janet Walker 6-1, 6-1.

“1 was really focused the entire match and played very well,” Cargill said. “The crowd could have been a big factor, but 1 went up 3-0 and quieted them for the whole match .”

The win was especially sweet for Cargill, who fell to Walker in a close match last summer.

“Last time I played her, we had a ridiculously long match and I lost a couple ofmatch points,” she said. “I think I’ve gotten a lot stronger since then, and I was more willing to hit to her forehand so that I could attack her backhand.”

Cargill’s victory put Duke ahead for the first time, but the Longhorns evened the score when junior Kaysie Smashy defeated Duke sophomore Katie Granson 6-1, 6-4.

Adams then put theBlue Devils ahead for good, defeating freshman Michelle Krinke 6-2, 6-3. This win was also special for Adams, who grew up competing against Krinke in the juniors.

“I’ve played Michelle many times and I lost to her in the finals of a national championship,” she said. “But I came out and played really well today.”

With two matches remaining, Ashworth was happy to have his two senior captains left out on the court.

“The match came down to Megan or Kathy [Sell] getting a win,” he said. “I couldn’t ask for more than having two seniors with over 200 combined wins out on the court with the match on the line.”

Miller, playing No. 2 singles for Duke for only the second time this year, clinched the victory with a 6-3, 6-4 win against Texas junior Vladka Uhlirova, while Sell fell in a tough 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 contest against junior Joanne Masonsong.

“Overall, this was one of the best singles matches we’ve played as a team all year,” Ashworth said.

“I think it was good for us to see that we could come back and win after a tough doubles loss. This experience will definitely help our team in the future if we lose the doubles point again.”

Blue Devils take out Seminoles in ACC semifinals

By ANDREA BOOKMAN The Chronicle

GREENSBORO At halftime yesterday afternoon, it looked like it might go down to the wire.

But then Duke opened the second half with a 141 run that lasted 10 minutes. Aided by several such second-half runs and tenacious defense, the topseeded Blue Devils (27-3) beat fourth-seeded Florida State (18-11), 72-56.

“I’m very proud of our team and the way they defended,” coach Gail Goestenkors said. “I thought we played great defense and rebounded very well.”

The win puts Duke in position to defend its conference tournament title tonight against N.C. State.

Although the Blue Devils won by a decisive margin, the Seminoles, who beat Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium last month, posed a significant challenge as they led for much of the first half.

But after a halftime pep talk from Goestenkors, theBlue Devils came out to play the second half with a mission. The 38-36 halftime lead left a lot to be desired for Duke, and for the first 10 minutes of the half, theBlue Devils sought successfully to put more points between themselves and their opponents.

In addition to scoring, though, Duke put emphasis on its defense and rebounding in the second half, nagging Seminole ball-handlers and fronting Florida State’s shooters.

“We were not pleased with the way we played against Wake Forest,” said senior Rochelle Parent, referring to Duke’s 75-68 overtime win against the conference’s last-place team Friday. “It was not a good showing of Duke basketball. We wanted to improve in all aspects of the game. Today we really focused on playing great quarter-court defense, boxing out, doing the little things.”

Sophomore Michele Matyasovsky, having just earned her starting position with only two games remaining in the regular season, opened the second period with a three-pointer.

In the next 10 minutes, Florida State missed eight shots—exactly the number of shots it took and grabbed no offensive rebounds. The Seminoles’ only production during this time was one made free throw by Levys Torres. Duke, meanwhile, was also missing shots, but the Blue Devils countered thenmisses with makes, scoring 11 more points off layups and jumpers. Torres finally ended Florida State’s drought with a jumper, but by then Duke had already opened a 13-point lead.

VENGEANCE Early 2nd-half run stuns UNC VENGEANCE from page 1, The Chronicle

Boozer out. We knew if they could get going, they would have five guys on the court sometimes that can hit threes.”

Although the Tar Heels were able to keep the Blue Devils in check in the first half— Duke led 42-40 at the break—a revved-up Blue Devil offense exploded for 30 points in the first eight minutes of the second half and sent first-year Carolina coach Matt Doherty scrambling to his X’s and O’s Williams, who combined with Battier to score 32 of Duke’s 42 first-half points, immediately picked off a pass from Curry and dashed downcourt for a fast-break layup to start the half.

And the Blue Devils did not stop running.

“The key stretch was the beginning of the second half,” Doherty said. “They seemed quicker out of the locker room and for whatever reason we came out flat. It’s tough to play catch up against Duke.”

A Mike Dunleavy layup with 11:54 to play pushed the Duke advantage to 15 and forced Doherty to change his team’s strategy, benching center Brendan Haywood and power forward Kris Lang in favor of a smaller lineup.

“Our half-court offense was not where it needed to be,” Doherty said. “We never really got into a rhythm, and credit that to the Duke defense.... [When we fell behind] we had to go with a smaller lineup to try and catch them and we couldn’t exploit our size advantage.”

The Tar Heels cut the deficit down to 10 three minutes later one play after a technical foul on an animated Doherty, but the slower Tar Heels could not keep up with Duke’s track-meet pace. And without a dominant inside presence, UNC was not able to keep Duke off the glass, something it had done masterfully in the first meeting.

“The key to moving the ball down the court is to rebound,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “The key today was that we didn’t give up many offensive rebounds, so we could grab the ball and push it down the court. We were able to push our advantage.”

A 15-6 run spearheaded by freshman

Chris Duhon and backcourt mate Williams

pushed the advantage to 19 points and sent most of the sellout crowd of 21,750 heading to the exits.

“It was a great game,” Krzyzewski said.

“We had two amazing games with UNC this year. That it was a split is appropriate; I think both teams are terrific.... Tonight, we played winning basketball.”

ACC leading scorer Joseph Forte paced the Tar Heels with 21 points, but shot just 7-of-21 from the floor. Forte was harassed and frustrated by a tenacious Duke defense, led by two-time defensive player of the year Battier.

The Blue Devils’ defense held the Tar Heels to a meager 40 percent from the floor and just 35 percent during the critical sec-

ond half. Battier, meanwhile, posted five

blocks and four steals to go along with his 25 points and 11 rebounds.

“Battier was Battier,” Krzyzewski said.

“The things we were able to do on defense were all based on the things he did.”

A win would have guaranteed the Tar Heels their first outright championship since 1993, although they will still enter this weekend’s conference tournament as the top seed thanks to the ACC’s tie-breaking system. The Blue Devils will enter at No. 2.

Hmm After all the talk in the media of Casey Sanders’ second start panned out to exactly 11 minutes and two points, maybe it is fitting that Mike Krzyzewski said the only thing that could be said of Chris Duhon’s first career start when he slammed down his foot, pumped his fist like a piston on double-time and growled down his bench with three minutes left, “Yes.” Score one for Duhon.

Score one for Krzyzewski.

Starting the freshman Duhon was not a surprising move—he had long been more of a sixth starter than sixth man, especially after an awkward floater in the fading seconds of the Wake Forest game made him another resident ACC story—but starting him over senior Nate James and

in the shadow of the Boozer melee was, in the least, unexpected.

Sanders’ start meant 11 minutes.

Duhon’s might have meant the game.

“Duhon had an amazing game,” the proud coach said afterward, the growl replaced by the usual calm demeanor. “He had a couple of steals, he kept [UNC] from coming back.”

While teammates Shane Battier and Jason Williams filled up the stat sheets, it was Duhon who made all the second-half filler plays to keep theBlue Devils streaking.

During the intermission of Williams’ scoring show, Duhon shined, putting up all 15 of his points in the second half (including a three-pointer when the Tar Heels crept to within 10), taking pressure off Duke’s starting point guard and keeping the offense up-tempo even as the game’s frenetic pace wore Williams down.

Which is, of course, exactly why Krzyzewski started him.

“It wasn’t a knock against Nate,” said Krzyzewski, who added that he will start Duhon or James according to the opponent from now on. “I thought we needed to move the ball up the court quicker; I felt we needed a little more speed in the lineup.

Some teams have been denying Jason the ball so we wanted to have two point guards in the lineup.”

And the two point guards allowed the Blue Devils to keep the pressure on.

There were no comebacks.

There were no leads lost. There was just Duke rolling to an unprecedented fifth ACC title—literally running the Tar Heels out of the gym. And on the biggest stage in college basketball, there was Chris Duhon, proving that he could move from the wings to center stage—tobacco juice optional.

TOM CASS (right) will wrestle for Duke at the NCAA Championships in lowa

Two wrestlers qualify for NCAAs after ACC meet

By MICHAEL JACOBSON The Chronicle

CHAPEL HILL In almost every sport, there are places that are considered hallowed. In baseball there is Cooperstown, in horseracing there is Kentucky and in wrestling there is lowa City, lowa. This year’s NCAA championships will be held March 1517 at the University of lowa, the site where legendary coach Dan Gable put college wrestling on the map.

After not having any qualifiers last year, the Blue Devils will be represented on the national level this

season. Juniors Tommy Hoang (125 pounds) and Tom Cass (184) both found out that they were national qualifiers after the conclusion of Saturday’s ACC championships.

“Wrestling in lowa, there’s no better place in the world,” Hoang said prior to hearing the outcome of the coaches’ meeting that decided who qualified. “Just walking into that stadium would be a dream that I’ve had my entire life.”

The ACC receives 18 bids for the national tournament. Ten bids go to the winners of each weight class and eight bids go to wild-card wrestlers who are chosen by the

coaches following the tournament.

Two Duke wrestlers, Hoang and Tim Marcantonio (165), had opportunities to guarantee themselves trips to lowa, but neither could use the finals to avenge losses from earlier this season.

Hoang had little trouble reaching the finals, easily beating Virginia’s Ryan Stewart 15-2 in the first round and North Carolina’s Chris Collins 14-4 in the semifinals. Hoang continued to wrestle well through the finals against N.C. State’s George Cintron, to whom Hoang lost 7-3 last week in

Raleigh. Each wrestler gave up only an escape duringregulation time, but in overtime Cintron shot a deep single-leg and took Hoang down, winning the match 3-1.

“Cintron’s a very defensive

wrestler, so I made him wrestle me,” Hoang said of the difference between his two meetings with the Wolfpack’s 125-pounder.

“Tommy looked fantastic tonight,” Duke coach Clar Anderson added.

“I’m pretty sure he’ll get [a bid].”

Marcantonio’s journey to the finals went a bit differently. The weight class’s fifth seed, Duke’s 165-pound freshman avenged two regular-season losses before dropping a third in the finals. In the first round, Marcantonio squared off against Maryland’s Josh Weidman, a returning ACC runner-up and NCAA qualifier who won 3-0 in their first meeting.

With two takedowns and a reversal, Marcantonio withstood a late charge by Weidman, winning 7-5.

Marcantonio beat UNC’s Jason Wilson in the second round to face Virginia’s George Francesca in the finals.

After a scoreless first, the stronger Francesca stalled Marcantonio’s offense and scored three takedowns of his own, taking a 9-2 victory.

“I was a little reluctant, he shut my offense down,” Marcantonio said.

“I tried to go in loose, but I tensed up right before the match.”

Despite his second-place finish, Marcantonio did not qualify for lowa.

But the same policy that excluded Marcantonio helped an extremely surprised Tom Cass get to lowa, and nearly did the same for Daegan Smith (197). Cass lost only to the eventual champion, and he won 9-6 in the third-place bout.

CHAPEL HILL A sizable number of sodden Duke rowers and fans focused on their own rivalry with the Tar Heels Saturday morning at North Carolina’s University Lake.

North Carolina’s own Carolina Dash opened up the spring season for Duke and marked the first meeting of these two teams since the Nov. 12 Rivanna Romp. The Blue Devils split the regatta, losing all three 1,000-meter heats in the novice 8+ and the junior varsity 8+ boats, but sweeping the novice-four and the coveted varsity-eight races.

“It was really exciting to beat them at home,” sophomore varsity-eight rower Amelia Booth said. “[The Tar Heels] specialize in the 1,000 meters, and last year we were able to beat them in the fall [but not in the spring]. This year we beat them all over the place.”

As the rain poured down on the Blue Devils, Duke adjusted well to the nowfamiliar 1,000-meter format of University Lake, which is half the length of a normal race. To compensate for the location’s size restrictions, the two teams competed in a best-two-out-of-three format to equal a full 2,000-meter race.

The Blue Devils’ varsity had formerly struggled with the shortened race format, since Duke’s emphasis on endurance often came up short on the faster sprint course.

But Saturday morning, the Blue Devils changed all that as the team’s premier squad poured on the speed to beat the Tar Heels by more than seven seconds in their first heat of the day.

The first varsity-8 heat also proved to be the fastest of the day, which at 3:20.44 was only challenged by the

same squad’s later times of 3:24.11 and 3:25.35. The Blue Devils then staved off continued attacks by the hard-pulling North Carolina scull to win the next two heats by over five seconds each time.

“Certainly we’re disappointed not to win the varsity eight,” North Carolina coach Joel Furtek said. “In the varsity eight, we didn’t have the explosive power off the start that we needed to have to beat a very strong crew like Duke.”

The Blue Devils began the day strongly with a quick novice 4+ win over the Tar Heels; Duke was the only team in that race to finish in under four minutes. It was all or nothing Saturday as the team that won the first heat went on to win them all as Duke dominated the novice fours and the varsity B+, but fell short in all three of the novice and junior varsity-8 heats.

“I feel mixed about the results,” coach Robyn Horner said. “The varsity showed the most composure and poise overall, while the junior varsity’s last race was their best of the day. The freshman and junior varsity needed to get solid power application in their races and they were just outpowered by Carolina.”

No matter how sweet it was to beat Carolina, Homer saw the regatta not just as a long-awaited varsity-8 victory.

She also viewed it as an indicator of what the team needs to improve on to continually compete on the same level as the rest ofits competition. “[This regatta] was so early that it’s not only good competition but also a good way to take a look at where we’re at,” Homer said.

The Blue Devils will continue regatta action against Louisville and Wisconsin March 17 at Lake Melton in Oak Ridge, Term.

ANALYSIS

THE NOD

Carisse Moody has been, predictably, her team’s leading scorer and rebounder in both the Wolfpack’s wins over Maryland and Clemson. Meanwhile, Duke’s Iciss Tillis has been relegated to the bench; although Michele Matyasovsky has done well in the post, she is still no match for Moody.

m

This is all Duke. Although Tynesha Lewis and Ivy Gardner are consistent scorers, so are Sheana Mosch and Alana Beard. That would be an equal matchup. But the Blue Devils also have Georgia Schweitzer, who has easily been the MVP of the tournament, averaging 26 points in two games. £

Duke tries to wear down FS ’s stars with uptempo pace

LILY-HAYES KAUFMAN/THE CHRONICLE

GEORGIA SCHWEITZER dribbles around April Traylor of Florida State yesterday.

.� WOMEN’S BASKETBALL from page 6 Some may have thought there was no way Duke would allow Florida State to come back after a near-miss overtime battle with Wake Forest Friday night.

But after a missed jumper by Duke’s Rometra Craig, the Seminoles rebounded and on the other end of the court, Iciss Tillis fouled Florida State’s Shinikki Whiting. The senior guard made one of two free throws. Whiting then stole the ball from Alana Beard as she drove and passed to the rarely used Molly Beal. Making the most of her minutes, Beal knocked down a three-pointer for the Seminoles. Whiting scored two quick buckets, and all of a sudden, Duke was the victim of a 10-1 run, during which the Blue Devils’ only point came from the foul line.

“We started taking quick shots,” Goestenkors said. “One thing we showed today was great patience. In that stretch, we started shooting after one pass. We talked about getting back to what was working for us, which was patience on offense.”

With the lead cut to six, Georgia Schweitzer simultaneously hit a trey and stole the momentum. A minute later, Schweitzer stepped to the arc again for a triple and dropped in a two for good measure with 5:35 remaining in the game. Schweitzer’s personal run gave the Blue Devils a double-digit lead

that swelled and ebbed in the game’s final minutes, but the margin never dipped below 11.

While Florida State starters Brooke

Wyckoff and April Traylor denied feeling winded during the game’s late moments, Goestenkors hoped Duke would be able to wear down the Seminoles, especially since they had played Saturday while the Blue Devils enjoyed a bye.

“We realized that pressure defense might not pay off in the first half, but it

would in the second,” Goestenkors said.

“We wanted to wear them down. We knew we would be the fresher team.”

And while Schweitzer once again led offensive campaign with a playerof-the-year-buzzworthy showing, her classmate Parent continued to boost Duke defensively with 13 rebounds and three drawn charges. Parent had left Friday’s game late with a strained hamstring, but after icing the hamstring and resting during Saturday’s practice, she was able to start yesterday and play 34 minutes.

Although both of their first two ACC tournament games have featured deficits and leads, the Blue Devils seem to have found a rare offensive and defensive sync thanks to the leadership of their two seniors. Tonight, Duke will attempt to repeat as conference champions in what has been, to the Blue Devils, a most venerable host arena.

UNC big men sit for much of game � COMMENTARY from page 1, The Chronicle When Max Owens converted the three-point play, the Tar Heels only trailed by 10 and were once again in striking distance, despite the fact that both their starting center and power forward had been sitting on the bench. But Doherty did not reinsert either Brendan Haywood or Kris Lang when Sanders exited, and Krzyzewski was able to capitalize on Doherty’s decision by keeping his five best players on the floor, with 220-pound Shane Battier tipping the scales as Duke’s biggest player.

In the decisive final 12 minutes, Lang never came back onto the floor, and Haywood played only 2:36 during the stretch. The pair that helped the Tar Heels upset Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium earlier in the season combined for only 15 minutes of second-half action as Haywood spent his Senior Night sitting idly on the bench while his teammates floundered.

“I don’t know that I put the guys in the position they should have been in,” Doherty said of his decision to keep his star players out of the game.

Although he received little credit heading into yesterday’s contest, Sanders played a sur-

prisingly significant role in minimizing the effectiveness of Haywood even when UNO’s 7-foot center was in the game.

Sanders could have retreated less than a minute into the game, when Haywood electrified the capacity crowd at the Smith Center with a thundering two-handed jam and a powerful rejection on the first two possessions of the game. By the end of the game, however, those early highlight reels must have seemed like a distant memory.

Having been acclimated to the world ofACC basketball in what he called his “baptism by fire,” Sanders regrouped and played the most aggressive 11 minutes of his career to help limit Haywood to only 12 points.

Spelled by the assistance of forwards Matt Christensen and Reggie Love, Sanders went toe-to-toe against Haywood, a likely member of the All-ACC first team. Frequently rapped as too thin, Sanders held his own and even surprised Haywood by recording two rejections and stonewalling him on another play a couple feet away from the basket.

“A lot of weaker programs would hide behind the fact that their starting center went down,” Battier said.

“Nothing was going to stop us today; size, whatever,” Chris Duhon said.

Along with the 27 minutes Sanders, Christensen and Love were able to contribute to Duke’s cause, the Blue Devils utilized a trapping defense to limit UNC guards’ vision into the post. UNC point guard Ronald Curry matched his seven points with seven turnovers, mainly because Battier’s rotating help-defense on the perimeter enabled Duhon, Jason Williams and Nate James to confuse the Tar

Heels’ two-sport player.

“We knew if they could see inside, they’d see a 7-foot, 260-pound man against Reggie Love or somebody,” Krzyzewski said.

But that was not always the case yesterday, as Haywood wasted away on the bench with the game on the line, giving Krzyzewski the option to only play Love, Sanders and Christensen a combined seven minutes in the second half.

Lang and Haywood both rationalized their lack of playing time by saying North Carolina did not feel it could erase Duke’s advantage against the quicker Blue Devils.

Lang, in fact, said he and Haywood were both told by Doherty that they would only get back in the game if Carolina was able to trim Duke’s lead.

With players like Owens, Brian Morrison and Adam Boone playing in Lang’s and Haywood’s stead, though, there was never a chance of that happening.

Chief justice criticizes officials for initial ruling P DSG from page 1

took only about an hour to come to its unanimous decision, finding Young’s arguments without merit and clearing the way for Walsh to become the next student government president.

“The panel felt that there existed many ambiguities in the testimonies heard,” Chief Justice Alexis Highsmith, a senior, wrote in the panel’s decision.

“In addressing the specific concerns that Sean articulated, the panel ruled that there were no valid circumstances for a runoff.”

The Judiciary also took the opportunity to express its concern about the Election Commission’s performance, which came under fire when the group contradicted previous applications of the

relevant DSG bylaw. The bylaw states that to win an election, a candidate must garner either a simple majority or a 6 percent margin; this year’s officials interpreted the section to mean that a candidate must receive both to win.

“The panel felt that the Election Commission acted irresponsibly in its efforts regarding the election results,” Highsmith wrote in the ruling. “It is the hope of the panel that future members of the Election Commission will adhere to procedure and have all members present to tabulate theresults. It is also the hope of the panel that Commission members will maintain an accurate understanding of the bylaw and campaign rules and procedures.”

RARE BOOKS from page 4 printed in 1085 that chronicles the land he obtained during his rule—and a set of Charles Dickens’ publications, including some of the original series pamphlets that were later published as single texts.

The library’s extensive collection of Southern history is based in the Flowers room and includes publications printed during the Confederacy. In addition, the room has publications from esteemed Duke graduates Reynolds Price, Ann Tyler, William Styron and others.

The Trent room is home to the nation’s third-best collection ofworks by Walt Whitman. Here, the library displays actual parts of manuscripts written by Whitman, a signed Whitman photograph from 1871 and multiple editions and copies of his works.

The library, although sometimes intimidating to students because of its strict security regulations, encourages undergraduates to come in and utilize its extensive set of primary sources. “I have to admit when I first walked in, it was slightly intimidating,” said freshman Andy Abernathy. “They point out that the cameras are watching you and you have to leave your backpack somewhere else and you have to sign a bunch of papers.”

The Rare Book Room’s books are stored in closed stacks, but individuals can examine them by lodging a request in the Dalton-Brand research rooms. The Rare Book Room is open during the week and staffed by volunteer docents.

“We’re unique among special collections libraries because we’re quite open,” West said. “We like to think people feel they can come in whenever they want.”

Still, the Rare Book Room uses extensive security equipment to ensure the preservation of the collection. “Obviously we have a concern for security because these materials are either irreplaceable or very difficult to replace,” said Robert Byrd, director of the Rare Book, Manuscript and Special Collections Library.
